4.3
Conduct:

Militia members are highly
encouraged to live exemplary lives as outlined in the 2nd Regiment Code of Conduct and the laws of the State of California. Blatant violation of the law places the legitimacy of the 2nd Regiment at
risk. Just one member can jeopardize the Civilian militia by illegal acts when those wishing to discredit us look for such opportunity.

Therefore, in order to
protect the body as a whole, militia members will be subject to a court martial made up of 2 (two) members of the Command Staff and 3 (three) of the accused peers who will convene to hear the facts
of the case before it. Members may stand trial for such acts that would discredit the 2nd Regiment or place the Regiment at legal risk. The accused will stand in their defense. No charge will be
brought to court martial unless supported by at least two witnesses. The maximum penalty for any offense will be permanent dismissal from the militia. After counsel the convened Command Staff will
vote on action.

Any militia members may
voluntarily withdraw from the militia at any time without prejudice for conscience sake. In such case, all issued equipment must be returned. It shall also be the right of each militia member to
appeal to authority within the direct chain of command regarding grievances. In every case however, the militia member shall follow the order or directive first and make his appeal
afterward.

4.4
Recruitment:

Under no circumstances are
militia members to discredit the 2nd Regiment by pressuring citizens to join or to contribute material or financial support. All material and financial contributions will be accepted with the clear
understanding that the inalienable rights of all will be protected without qualification.

5. OATH OF MILITIA
MEMBERS:

All militia members will be
required to take the oath and sign it, to uphold the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of California and to protect it from all enemies.

5.1 Oath For ALL
Members:

“I, (Name), do solemnly
swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state of California against all enemies, be they foreign or domestic; that I will
bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, that I take this obligation freely, without any reservation or purpose of evasion; and that
I will willing and faithfully discharge the duties of the office upon which I am about to enter; for conscience sake; So Help Me God.”

6. UNIFORMS AND
EQUIPMENT:

As a member of the 2nd
Regiment, you are encouraged to procure and maintain items of uniform and equipment. When in uniform, you represent the 2nd Regiment. Therefore your uniform will be clean, buttons buttoned, shirts
tucked in, and patches sewn on properly. Proper impression is very important to the public.

The primary weapon of a 2nd
Regiment member will be the rifle. Caliber is at the member’s discretion however, it must be in accordance with the law. It will be required of all militia members not otherwise opposed for
conscience sake, to have their own rifle, ammunition, and equipment.

Militia members are required
to remain proficient in the maintenance and safe operation of the rifle and to have a minimum of 500 rounds of ammunition and 150 rounds per sidearm available at all times.

The militia member's
equipment shall consist of necessary items to be determined, based on the member's assignment. Thus outfitted, the equipment will be kept available at all times for rapid deployment by the militia
member. If you are restricted to limited funds, set your priority on proper uniforms and attire rather than exotic military hardware. A professional image is more creditable than a lot of neat
toys.

Militia members WILL be
expected to obey all Constitutional state and local firearms laws. Militia members are normally expected to carry military style firearms. Only in self-defense will a militia member discharge his
weapon. As with members of organized military units within California, militia members are expected to abide by all hunting rules and regulations pertaining to the use of firearms for that
purpose.

7.
COMMUNICATION:

In the case of a natural or
manmade disaster, the role of communication is critical. Therefore, the Citizen Band radio and ham radio will be the principal forms of communication for the 2nd Regiment. Persons taking part in
emergency communications should have a valid ham radio operator license.

8. ASSEMBLY
MEETINGS:

Periodic musters and
assemblies are necessary and shall be called to achieve the overall goals of the militia unit. Members must discipline themselves to set aside time each month, for assembly. Militia members will be
notified of actual assembly times and places. While it is intended that the militia intrude as little as possible in the private lives of its members, it is also clear that individual members are
volunteers and must be ready to meet periodically and to deploy as the need arises. It will be the objective of the staff to infringe as little as possible on the time of militia members, recognizing
their responsibilities to their families and jobs.

9.
AFFILIATIONS:

None at this
time.

10. STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
(SOP)

From time to time, best
practices are revealed or known to the unit. At that time, command shall issue written SOP’s. The Command staff developing these SOP’s shall consist of all leaders within that command level. SOP
development shall also include any Members skilled in the particular discipline that is being developed as an SOP.

SOP development will at
a minimum allow ALL active member suggestive input within a reasonable amount of time.
